A fire started yesterday morning in
the house of Mr.. Bumps, but by II
series of fortunate circumstances it
was extinguished before doing any Sc
rious damage. 1t seems that no one
was in the lower part of the house ut
the time, Mrs. Bumps having gone up
stairs with bad headache and the
children being in the yard back OF the
house. Entirely by chance one of the
boys happened to go round to tho front
of the building, and saw smoke pour
ing out from small room used as II
kitchen. He Mt once gave the alarm,
and the children, assisted by several
neighbors, worked with will to sub
due the flames, which had gained con-
siderable headway. Very fortunately
"a water barrel, which had been filed
the night before, stood close by the
door, and II few pailfuls of this soon put
II damper upon the flames. The fire is
supposed to have been started by II
spark flying from the stove and land
ing in the wood box among some loose
papers. A Kerosene can was standing
close by, but though the spout was
melted off, the fluid did not explode
nor ignite. The sides of the room
were badly charred, and II bundle of
clothes was consumed. An alarm was
rung on the school house bell, and q
boy sent to summon the fire depart
ment. Much credit is due TO the neigh
bors and also to the children for their
efficient service

THE refusal of the officers and di-
rectors of the Union Pacific Railroad
to answer the questions put To them
: by the commission to- investigate
Pacific railroad affairs as to the use
of money by the railroad company
in influencing state and national
legislation, and their further refusal
to give any explanation of the mys-
terious operation of paying bills
without vouchers, seems to place
upon the committee the necessity of
|. proceeding through the national
kcourt to compel them to answer.
Though this affair on its face is To-
cal, aud even private, question, af-
fecting tiss relations of public men
to no matter OF public concern, 1t
really reaches clear into the vitals
of public business. Like Mercutio's s
wound, 1t may be little hole on the
outside where the public see it, but
eats "clear in" and needs to he
probed to the bottom. The most
obvious suggestion of the silence of
these witnesses is that they cannot
answer without confessing the Of
fense, and that the confession will
leave pretty safe trail to track the
Offender. When they say they will
not answer whether the company
has used money to influence legisla.

THE Cheney Sentinel has changed
hands. the late proprietor, Frank
Spencer, having disposed of the
property. Mr.. Spencer has had con-
troll of the Sentinel for several years
and has always eXerted every energy
in building up his town. He has
been loyal far beyond his reward.
Cheney could not have had Il more
earnest champion than the Sentinel
under the old management. 1t has
stood faithfully to the town when all
others had deserted it. Without
even the encouragement it deserved,
the paper III all times and under all
circumstances did earnest battle for
Cheney, and through the most dis
couraging and darkest hours has
never wavered. Through the instru-
mentality of the Sentinel, Cheney
has been really kept alive for years,
and without its aid the town would
have lost the little prestige ii had
years before. No doubt Mr.. Spencer
leaves Cheney no better of than
when he set his foot in the place, and
even without the good will Of those
whom he has spent years in assisting.

tincl and REVIEW INDUCED in, but

Must Priests Testify?

II has long been mooted question whether
the English law requires priests, especially
Roman Catholics, to disclose secrets on tn,
witness stand which have been impaired Il
them at the confessional. Sir James Stephen
in note to his Digest Of the Law Of Evi
dence," says:
"The question whether clergymen, and par.
ticularly whether Roman Catholic priests,
can be compelled to disclose confessions made
to them professionally has never been sol
EMMY decided in England, though it is stated
by the text writers that they can. A pamph-
let was written TO maintain the existence Of
the privilege bv Mr.. Baddeley in 1865 Mr.
Baddeloy's argument is, in few words, that
the privilege must have been recognized
when the Roman Catholic religion was estab-
liShed by law, and that it has never been
taken away. think the modern law Of evil
dence is not so old as tho reformation but has
grown up by the practice of the courts and
by decisions in the course of the last two
centuries 1t came into existence at time
when exceptions in favor Of auricular confes-
sions to Roman Catholic priests were not
likely to be made. The general rule Is that
every person must testify to what he knows

Wedding Dresses.

Ivory white satin and faille franchise are
equally fashionable for wedding dresses this
season. No bride is considered too young to
wear satin, yet lustrous corded silk makes a
more youthful looking gown. The old fash
:oned heavy gros grain is also used again.
ihs pompadour basque, with square neck
anu eioow sieeves, is revived, and rivals the
N-necked corsage, S>iny eSpeciollv suitobIe
for dresses worn ut church Weddings in ,ba
daytime. Tule wrought with seed peorls for
front drapery and family lace drapel n,,rn
each side are on Worths latest creation for
an American bride The train is of great
length, very full and bou,rant, but straight
and without trimming on the ends. Revers
covered with pearls are next the square open
neck, and form cuffs on the sleeves. A
repped silk gown for a young bride has a
tablier front of pearl fringe with netted bead
ing and long separate strands reaching from
the waist to the foot A satin gown for a
very young bride has pointed waist with V
neck, half sleeves and a straight train with
its fullness widely shirred on the tournure.
Brides who object to artificial flowers omit
them altogether, using some pearl pasSemen-
terie and separate ornaments for drapng the
lace or tulle; the bouquet for the corsage is
also dispensed with, though a spray of natural
orange blossoms is added there and in the
couture. The vail, whether of tulle or of
lace, is fastened with the many jeweled pins
which are now favorite wedding gifts. A
prayer book bound in velum or in old silver
is sometimes carried in the hand instead of
bouquet, and high church brides approach
the altar without gloves. -Harpers Bazaar.

Local Antidotes for Snake Venom.

Drs. Mitchell and Reichart have pursued
some very original and valuable researches
upon the venoms of poisonous serpents, in
Guiding rattlesnakes, moccasins. ground rat
tlesnakes, copperheads and coral suckers.
They find that all fresh serpent venoms are
more or less alike in appearance, being fluids
varying from the palest amber tint TO deep
yellow, and that the active principles Of the
venom are contained in its liquid parts only.
They arrive at the conclusion that potassic
permauganate, ferric chloride in the form of
the liquid or tincture and tincture of iodine
seem to be the most active and promising of
generally available local antidotes, The
search for a chemical antidote which can
prove available after the poison has reached
the circulation is considered almost hopeless

SurpliCe plaitinp

Skirts plated surplice fashion will be fash
iOnable this summer, and dresses of light
woollen material, such as vailing barege
etamine and very fine French cashmere, are
made thus the plated skirt falling over an
under one Of some light silk, taffetas or fou
lard. 1t is pretty to have tight fitting
jacket made of the silk, and opening with
square tacings over chemisette plated like
the upper skirt, and of the same material
But if bodice of the fancy wooden fabric is
preferred, it should be lined with silk and
made entirely plain, with the exception of
the front part, which is plated in the shape
of a plastron. TO make the skirt look less
plain it is sometimes caught up 50 as to form
sort Of limp putting round the waist; bow
of ribbon is placed at the side, at the waist
line, and another below the pulling, with flow
ing ends. This model however, does not suit
all figures. Another style is the tunic, just
draped at the side over the plated skirt. The
bodice is heightened into a short drapery,
caught up with bow or passementerie agrafe;
it looks more dressy and is more generally
becoming than the mere plated skirt without
airy drapery

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Manners and Customs Practiced In
Polite Society.

Manners and Customs Practiced In
Polite Society.
Constant politeness saves the temper We
are all disarmed by an attempt to please us,
and politeness outlasts all other virtues, Is the
experience Of one as well versed in society
ways as Mrs. John Sherwood. This gentle
poiteness has a charming effect on domestic
life. Harmless and graceful optional civili-
ties are part of the grace Of foreign man
ners. In France when gentleman takes off
his hat in windy doorway, and holds it in
his hand while talking to lady, she always
SAYS "couvrez -vous," Il beg you not to stand
hatless.r 4 kind hearted woman says this to
q coachman, a boatman, a man Of high or Of
low degree.
We do not yet sufficiently appreciate the
value of manners. The bad manners of Ameri-
cans are really from want of thought There
are no more generous, chivalrOus, kindly men
in the world than Americans. They might,
however, study optional civility. They should
not only have good manners but better man
ners Let cordial bow, a gracious smile,
make sunshine in shady place" Civility
oils the wheels of our domestic machinery, and
American women might mend their man,
ners particularly as to optional CiyilitieS.
Optional civilty does not in any way include
familiarity. Perhaps it is the best of all safe
guards from it. Well bred women never say
anything to hurt persons feelings. To tell
one of disagreeable things said behind ones
back is neither good taste nor optional
civility. 1t is apt to be an express on of indi-
vidual spite. 1t is doubtful taste TO warn
people of their faults, TO comment upon their
failures, to carry them disagreeabe tidings
under the name Of friendship. This is very
often optional incivility.

The ball has given rise to so many popular
games that we feel convinced our young
readers will like to hear something Of it,
history. HerodotuS attributes the invention
Of the ball to the Lydians, but succeeding
writer's have affirmed that Anagalla, prin-
cess of COrcyra, was the first who made n
ball for the purpose of pastime. The most
ancient game with the ball is known TO us as
handball, pastime which consists in two or
more players beating a bali from one to
another with the open palm; If Homer may
be accredited, this game is cocyal at least
with the destruction Of Troy. It is altogether
uncertain at what period the bail was intro
duced into England, but it is well known
that many Of the games which are now
played were popular in this country in the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries.

HnusehOld Hints.

A little petroleum added TO the water with
which waxed or polished floors are washed
improves their appearance.
A fruitful cause of erruptions Of the skin
is the use of poor soaps. For toilet purposes
only the best and purest of soaps ought to be
employed.
Two cups of brown sugar, half a cup of
molasses, one and one half cups Of water,
butter the size of an egg, and two cups of
peanut meats, furnish the ingredients for
peanut candy. Boil until thick. rrF
In hanging out skirts to dry always pin
them between two lines and they will take
up less space and dry much sooner than when
hung double.
Put heavy wrapping paper under new oil
cloth, so it will not stick to the carpet and
leave paint on it.
To remove mildew, soak in buttermilk and
spread on the grass i'll the sun.
Hand painted china holds its own well, al
though conservative people prefer the plain
white ware
Rubber rings such as are used on fruit cans
become hard and brittle. They can be re-
stored by letting them lie in water i'll which
you have put a little ammonia Mix in this
proportion: One part ammonia and two
parts water Sometimes they do not need to
lie in this more than five minutes, but fire.
auently half hour is needed to restore their
elasticity. -.
